Select a Printer for Reports

Sage ERP Accpac lets you choose a default printer for all reports that you print, as well as assign different printers to specific reports (such as invoices or labels).

To change the default printer for all reports:

  1. Select File > Page Setup.

  2. Click the Printer button.

  3. From the drop-down list, choose the printer that you want to use.

The printer list includes all printers that have been added to the Printers and Faxes list in Windows.

  1. Click the Properties button to change available settings for your particular printer.

  2. Click OK to close the Properties form.

  3. Click OK again to return to the Page Setup form.

  4. Click the Print Destination button and check that the print destination is set to Printer.

If you are using a laser printer, you would normally select the Report Paper Size and Report Orientation options on the Print Destination form.

  1. Click OK on the Print Destination form, and then click OK on the Page Setup form.

To assign a specific report to a specific printer:

  1. Open the report form which you want to assign to a printer.

  2. From the menu on the report form, Select File > Print Setup.

  3. Choose whether you want to choose the printer that is set as the Windows default printer, or choose a specific printer for this report.

Note: By default, the specific printer is the one chosen as the printer on the Page Setup form selected from the File menu on the Sage ERP Accpac Desktop.

  1. The printer list includes all printers that have been added to the Printers and Faxes list in Windows.

  2. Choose a paper source if you want to select a particular paper tray or paper stock for this report.

  3. Click OK.

To clear the assigned printer for this report

  1. Select (highlight) the icon for this report from the Sage ERP Accpac desktop.

  2. Choose Restore Defaults from the Object menu, (or right-click your mouse and choose Restore Defaults from the list that appears).

  3. In the Restore Defaults dialog box, select the Print Settings option, then click OK. The print setup for that form is changed back to the desktop default.

Prompt for printer each time you print

To have the program prompt you to choose a printer and print options each time you print, select the Confirm On Print option in Preferences (on the View menu on the Sage ERP Accpac Desktop).
